    Strokestown had a stout and ale brewery factory about one hundred years ago and as late as seventy years ago it possessed a distillery, the stones and malt houses are still to be seen at the rere of Mrs. Kelly's hotel in Bawn Street. There was also a soap and tan yard in Church Street and up to very recently there was a rope and twine factory held at the premises of Paddy Kenny in Church Street.
    There was also a corn mill in Church Street at the back of J. Brennan's old garage Strokestown.
